“Those who eat fugu…”

“Those who eat fugu are stupid. But those who don’t eat fugu are also stupid.”

– traditional Japanese saying, from Wade Davis’ The Serpent and the Rainbow. (Which, by the way, and unlike the movie it inspired, is a very sober and well-researched investigation of zombie culture in Haiti, written by an extremely intelligent and interesting person, a Canadian ethnobotanist at Harvard. Highly recommended).
